Khiri Travel -- Laos
On the morning of 15 September 2009, Khiri Reach visited the Luang Prabang Orphanage, home to around 500 children in need, many of them orphans.
On behalf of Riksja Online we donated writing books, pens, pencils, soaps, washing powder, tooth brushes and tooth paste for each child in the orphanage.
We arranged for a carpenter plus some wood and other repair materials to fix broken doors and windows. It gets very cold up here in the winter. Nobody wants the children to be shivering in their wooden dormitory beds at night this winter.
Our little delegation bearing the donations was well received by the students and teachers. A small ceremony was held by the head of the orphanage to thank Riksja Online and Khiri Reach for the donation on behalf of the children.
Khiri Reach and Riksja Online support the Luang Prabang orphanage school on a regular basis. We usually supply learning materials and personal hygienic goods for the children.
